Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for a communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, an input device, a display, a camera, and an antenna, said method comprising: a function implementing step in which a single or multiple functions are implemented; wherein said communication device implements a voice communicating function, an OS updating function, a communication device telephone remote controlling function, a communication device computer remote controlling function, a shortcut icon displaying function, an OCR function, a word processing function, a start up software function, and a stereo audio data output function; voice communication is implemented by utilizing said microphone and said speaker when said voice communicating function is implemented in said step; an operating system of said communication device is updated via said antenna when said OS updating function is implemented; said communication device is remotely controlled by a telephone when said communication device telephone remote controlling function is implemented in said step; said communication device is remotely controlled by a computer via network when said communication device computer remote controlling function is implemented in said step; a software program indicated by a shortcut icon selected by the user is executed, wherein said shortcut icon is one of the multiple shortcut icons displayed on said display, when said shortcut icon displaying function is implemented in said step; an image data is retrieved via said camera and alphanumeric data is extracted from said image data when said OCR function is implemented in said step; the text displayed on said display is changed to bold and/or italic when said word processing function is implemented in said step; a certain software program identified by the user is configured to be executed when the power of said communication device is turned on when said start up software function is implemented in said step; and stereo audio data stored in said communication device is processed to be output in a stereo fashion when said stereo audio data output function is implemented in said step.

3. A system which includes: a communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, an input device, a display, a camera, and an antenna; a voice communicating implementer, wherein voice communication is implemented by utilizing said microphone and said speaker; an OS updating implementer, wherein an operating system of said communication device is updated via said antenna; a communication device telephone remote controlling implementer, wherein said communication device is remotely controlled by a telephone; a communication device computer remote controlling implementer, wherein said communication device is remotely controlled by a computer via network; a shortcut icon displaying implementer, wherein a software program indicated by a shortcut icon selected by the user is executed, wherein said shortcut icon is one of the multiple shortcut icons displayed on said display; an OCR implementer, wherein an image data is retrieved via said camera and alphanumeric data is extracted from said image data; a word processing implementer which changes the text displayed on said display to bold and/or italic; a start up software implementer, wherein a certain software program identified by the user is configured to be executed when the power of said communication device is turned on; and a stereo audio data output implementer which processes stereo audio data stored in said communication device to be output in a stereo fashion.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said communication device is a handheld device.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said operating system of said communication device is updated by downloading via said antenna a portion of said operating system of the latest version.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said communication device is remotely controlled via the telephone by way of the telephone accessing a host computer.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said communication device is remotely controlled by said computer via network by accessing a certain web site.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the text changed to bold and/or italic is the one selected by the user.

9

9. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said communication device is a handheld device.

10

10. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said operating system of said communication device is updated by downloading via said antenna a portion of said operating system of the latest version.

11

11. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said communication device is remotely controlled via the telephone by way of the telephone accessing a host computer.

12

12. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said communication device is remotely controlled by said computer via network by accessing a certain web site.

13

13. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein the text changed to bold and/or italic is the one selected by the user.

14

14. The system of claim 3 , wherein said communication device is a handheld device.

15

15. The system of claim 3 , wherein said operating system of said communication device is updated by downloading via said antenna a portion of said operating system of the latest version.

16

16. The system of claim 3 , wherein said communication device is remotely controlled via the telephone by way of the telephone accessing a host computer.

17

17. The system of claim 3 , wherein said communication device is remotely controlled by said computer via network by accessing a certain web site.

18

18. The system of claim 3 , wherein the text changed to bold and/or italic is the one selected by the user.
